Sciatica is a disease in which pain is radiated with the length of the sciatic nerve in the body towards the hips and each leg. The most common cause of sciatica is a herniated disc within the lumbar backbone, which compresses or irritates the nerve. This can cause sharp pain, tingling, or numbness within the buttocks and legs.
These include:
Shooting pain in the lower back
Numbness in the path of the sciatic nerve
Weakness in the affected leg
Pain worsens with prolonged sitting or sudden movements
Discomfort or difficulty in moving the leg or foot
Symptoms often affect only one side of the body
The causes of sciatica can include:
Herniated or slipped disc
Degenerative disc disease
Spinal stenosis
Piriformis syndrome
Lumbar spinal injury or trauma
Tumors or cysts in the spine, although rare, can compress the nerve
Pregnancy, as the growing uterus may press on the sciatic nerve
Rarely, sciatica can be caused by infections or inflammatory conditions affecting the nerve
To diagnose sciatica, a medical professional will typically
Perform a physical examination
Review the patient's medical history
He may also use diagnostic imaging tests, such as
X-rays
MRI
CT scans
Here are common treatment options:
Pain Medication
Physical Therapy
Heat and Ice Therapy
Epidural Steroid Injections
